Tip #81 From Mrs. Sunny

"Sometimes you just have to take a leap!"


If you haven't heard, Sunny and I moved into my parents house on Thursday. Sunny ended his position as co-manager of a bank and I stopped my in-home daycare business in the last 2 weeks! Josh is now managing a country club and I will be playing the piano at the church my parents attend.


We just dropped everything and moved, with really no time to take it all. Now all-of-a-sudden my kids are attempting to take a nap at grandma and grandpas house - our new home until our house sells.


Thursday I packed the kids in with boxes so high neither one of them could see me driving! We left the house feeling bare and empty with the things we could live without.


I had a few errands before leaving town. First, Mediacom, to drop off our internet box. After taking boxes out of the van to get the kids out and putting the boxes back in...there was a line! My kids were running in circles in the empty waiting space. We survived, and 3 blocks away Kathryne cries - "Baby!". Of course she left here baby doll there! This is after she decided to poop on the way out the door and there was no room to change her in the van, so she got changed on the parking lot.


I turn around, run in and grabbed her baby and we are off to the bank. I am not used to having to take checks to the bank since Sunny worked at a bank. I haven't gone to the bank in over 2 years - weird.


Then we were off to the countryside at my parents!


Thankfully one of my daycare moms burned me a Disney CD for the kids to keep them entertained while they were boxed in the van and beautiful flowers to smell from another mom. We survived the hour drive with few tears and were greeted by Sunny who we haven't seen much of the last 2 weeks. Big hugs and kisses!


It has only been 2 days and I am exhausted! The kids love having their 7 cousins to play with everyday and they love being out in the country. They can't wait to go fishing with grandpa at the pond and grow a garden with grandma...and I'm excited about having extra hands after having our 3rd baby in May!


So this is the start of our journey...sometimes you just have to take a leap!
